Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Dear Alumni and Potential Generous Donors,

I hope this message finds you well.

As part of our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion, I am reaching out to you on behalf of our students of color and those facing financial challenges who are passionate about golf.

In an effort to enhance their training and create equal opportunities, we are seeking donations to acquire a golf launch monitor. This technology will not only provide valuable insights to all our golfers but will particularly benefit those who may not have access to such resources due to their socioeconomic status. Our current golf equipment is far inferior to our competitors.

We do not have enough funds for new clubs for each athlete. With this monitor they can maximize their effort by understanding how to use the equipment we do have to the best of their ability. After all, the better they get, the better the game gets. They'll have more fun, be able to play more courses, start beating the competetition, and, above all, have that wonderful sense of self-accomplishment that comes with a round well played.

Your support will contribute significantly to narrowing the gap and ensuring that every aspiring golfer, regardless of background, can access the tools needed to succeed. Together, we can empower our students and foster an environment where talent and dedication shine brighter than any obstacles they may face.

We want our student athletes to build confidence and a love for the game so that they can be given opportunities at the next level. With improved play, our student athletes will be given opportunities for scholarships at the next level. This is an amazing opportunity for our diverse population of boys and girls golfers.

Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of our student athletes.

Mr. Porter
Grades 9-12
